*Ethnicity stats for the school featured in this article:
African American 2% Asian 29% Filipino 7% Hispanic 60% White 2%
How's importing this trash going to affect the US? You can sense the superintendent's desperation, who says there is no letup of the invasion and that he has no better forecast than "we'll see" as far as the prospects for conformance with the state's reqiurements. In the best of dogmatic "we be all equal" traditions, one of the measures reserved to rectify the situation is "teacher firing". It's not the teachers, dumbasses :rolleyes: *

For the fifth straight year, California's public schools scored higher on the state's standardized testing program known as STAR.
But almost half of the state's schools -- 45 percent -- are falling far short of meeting tough new federal goals requiring that all students in every school must be proficient in English and math.
"We have a long way to go when we look at this goal, which is significant," said Superintendent Colleen Wilcox of Santa Clara County Schools. "Those schools are showing progress, but there is still a considerable achievement gap."
Wilcox says Santa Clara County schools scored slightly better than the state as a whole. But the STAR tests reveal how far some schools have come, and how deep some schools are in trouble. **JW Fair Middle school in San Jose is one of 185 schools statewide that failed to meet its academic targets for the second straight year. Students say it's not due to lack of effort by the teachers.
"The teachers here are really good," said 8th grader Veronica Chavez. "But some students, they get a little lazy."**
But the federal No Child Left Behind Act signed by President Bush says such schools could be subject to sanctions, including teacher firings, student transfers, and in rare cases school closures and the establishment of charter schools. The superintendent who oversees of Fair Middle School says those are real concerns, because the bar has been set so high even for schools like his, which are dealing with large immigrant populations.
"The children continue to come at us, in our neighborhood, from third world countries not very well prepared," said Superintendent Larry Aceves. "We'll still have to meet the standards that the feds set, and there's no slack on that. We'll all have to meet the standards. But we'll see."

Plus you got teachers who don't know :dung:, but yet seem to know how to spot Attention Deficit disorder in kids(usually white males) they don't like so they drug them into submission. :sleep:

I don't have experiences with that. However, almost all whites seem to have fled that school, and I don't envy the remaining 2%. Shouldn't the government worry more about those 2% who had to study in a dumbed-down hostile environment?

The 2% of Whites will be unable to overcome the 'fitting-in' aspect. I hope their intelligence will get them through like it did for me in those dark days.
Even the wiggers will look back on these 'skool dayz' as a nightmare not fitted for even their worst racial enemies.
I was thrown face first into the educational fire in the South during the mid to late 80's. I don't think the school even had a 2% White attendence. I remember meeting 5 or so fellow Whites (no juden or white liberal sons and daughters in sight!) and the rest were a hodge-podge mix of dark and brown faces. The school was ranked as the scariest high school in the county. Some of the teachers really seemed to try their hardest but it was and is a losing battle. It was so bad I skipped classes and visited the school library to teach myself!!
